Five people died while several others sustained injuries in Konduga town, Borno on Friday when a bomb believed to have been planted in a pickup van loaded with firewood exploded at a checkpoint manned by members of the Civilian JTF and police officials.

A top security source who spoke anonymously confirmed the news to journalists saying, “There was a blast targeted at the members of the Civilian-JTF manning a checkpoint in Konduga, about five persons were reportedly killed and several others injured. The pickup van had approached the checkpoint at about noon and as the local security operatives tried to flag down the car, the driver who was on a suicide mission detonated the explosive device that led to the death of five persons among who was a plain clothe police officer from the Criminal Investigation Bureau.”
The attack on Konduga took place few hours after Boko Haram gunmen had attempted to attack a military base in Damboa town, 85km south of Maiduguri the Borno State capital, but ended up with a heavy casualty. SHARE THIS NEWS
